Would you like to donate blood for cardiovascular research?

Investigation of new anti-clotting approaches to prevent heart attack and stroke

At the Australian Centre for Blood Diseases, we are studying the processes involved in the formation of blood clots.  

 

While blood clots normally form to prevent excessive bleeding following an injury, the same processes are involved in the formation of harmful clots that may block blood vessels, causing heart attacks or strokes.  A better understanding of how clots form will not only increase our knowledge of blood clot formation in healthy individuals and individuals with cardiovascular disease, but may lead to new preventative and therapeutic drugs for heart attacks and strokes.

 

We need human blood on a daily basis to ensure such vital research continues. Can you help?
